<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #eeeeee; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">In screaming silence</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #eeeeee; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Accompanied only by the muffled beating</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #eeeeee; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Of a corrupted drum</span></div>

<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #eeeeee; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I fear the plummet into the landfill below</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #eeeeee; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Would leave me aptly vacant</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #eeeeee; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">And … somewhat amenable (malleable?)</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #eeeeee; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">And I am blamed, unjustly, for my gentle touch</span></div>

I haven't for years<br />
Emotionally, I left all that time ago<br />
You knew of course, busy with manipulation as always<br />
and it seems like a conspiracy right now<br />
Heart strings<br />
Suffer for your children<br />
Their tears<br />
because daddy isn't home<br />
but all they saw when he was home<br />
was daddy's tears<br />
because he couldn't cope with tying his own fucking shoe laces<br />
I feel shit<br />
I feel guilty<br />
I should have stayed - chained and gagged<br />
played like a puppet<br />
hating you more with every breath<br />
regretting the ties we have<br />
resenting your stupid, pathetic face<br />
everytime it appeared at my door<br />
Happy?<br />
You've all made your fucking point today<br />
now fuck offLecciehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14142168387605618459noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1257780429829427272.post-15206760247947443192011-01-20T16:16:00.000+00:002011-01-20T16:16:40.161+00:00<blockquote>“Why are you leaving me?</blockquote><blockquote><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 11px; line-height: 14px;">He wrote, I do not know how to live.</span></span></blockquote><blockquote><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 11px; line-height: 14px;">I do not know either but I am trying.</span></span></blockquote><blockquote><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 11px; line-height: 14px;">I do not know how to try.</span></span></blockquote><blockquote><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 11px; line-height: 14px;">There were some things I wanted to tell him.

<br />
I cry because you asked me that question. I cry because your manipulation and ignorance knows no bounds. I cry because you ARE, in essence, the very thing that you despise and fight against. I cry because you project your self-hatred upon me. I cry because I am here, uninvited yet unable to leave, and you so callously sweep aside my presence amongst strangers. I cry because you hide the truth from me. I cry because the lies are insulting. I cry because I see the dark and no matter how hard I try I can no longer see the light. I cry because I am killing my emotions, hour by hour, day by day. I cry because the murder of my soul is because of you. I cry with clean hands as I look at your blood soaked elbows, emerging from the hole in my chest that makes me cry.<br />
<br />
The definition of my tears is disillusionment. It is hatred borne of love, care and respect. Where warmth once lived, there is now only despair and a locked door.<br />
<br />
I cry because the thought of ever feeling again makes me vomit.<br />
I write it down because I am terrified of that being the truth.<br />
At least I can still cry.<br />

</span></span></div><div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: 'Century Gothic'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;"><span><span style="font-size: medium;">The answer - in glorious, manic Technicolor now resides in her head. Sold, bargained, pleaded; possessions for green rain. He sold her car. </span></span></div><div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: 'Century Gothic'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;"><span><span style="font-size: medium;"><br />
</span></span></div><div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: 'Century Gothic'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;"><span><span style="font-size: medium;">A white dress; why did he put her in that? A fucking kaftan? A mounded concept of what he needed, still pleaded. And the seasoning always made a meeting more appealing. What will she bring?</span></span></div><div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: 'Century Gothic'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;"><span><span style="font-size: medium;"><br />
</span></span></div><div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: 'Century Gothic'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;"><span><span style="font-size: medium;">Fake friends; wise? They think so with a passing comment and a cat call. A nickname, a character, a jape and a phony. </span></span></div><div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: 'Century Gothic'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;"><span><span style="font-size: medium;"><br />
</span></span></div><div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: 'Century Gothic'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;"><span><span style="font-size: medium;">A lock comes away in her hands; rotten? It just slid right out with the key still attached and unable to turn. Oh! It does that all the time, apparently. </span></span></div><div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: 'Century Gothic'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;"><span><span style="font-size: medium;"><br />
</span></span></div><div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: 'Century Gothic'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;"><span><span style="font-size: medium;">Right. Just fix it back on; to the scalp of ghosts. The ghosts of a past lived by someone who really doesn't want to leave them behind. Neurosurgery on dark street corners. I ask you?!</span></span></div><div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: 'Century Gothic'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;"><span><span style="font-size: medium;"><br />
</span></span></div><div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: 'Century Gothic'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;"><span><span style="font-size: medium;">He is exactly who she thought he might be before he tried to change her view. I guess that is why he was so quiet - Being someone else all that time? It’s not easy to speak in another’s name and not give yourself away.</span></span><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></div><div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: 'Century Gothic'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br />
</span></div><div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: 'Century Gothic'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;"><span style="font-size: medium;">That first message that made her panic and think 'Oh Goddess, not again, pleeeease!'</span></div><div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: 'Century Gothic'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br />
</span></div><div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: 'Century Gothic'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;"><span style="font-size: medium;">She got over him while he was still trying to make up his mind; whilst she slept; whilst he smoked and indulged his self-obsession and unworthiness. </span></div><div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: 'Century Gothic'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br />
</span></div><div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: 'Century Gothic'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;"><span style="font-size: medium;">He wants to be alone and to that end, she knows she is not the right person for him; nor is he worthy of her love. </span></div><div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: 'Century Gothic'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br />
</span></div><div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: 'Century Gothic'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;"><span style="font-size: medium;">She wishes that he would see deeper than he does. She wishes that he could see the person that she sees through clarified eyes. She doesn’t think he ever will; perpetuating the need for actions that alienate him from an enlightened world. </span></div><div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: 'Century Gothic'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br />
</span></div><div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: 'Century Gothic'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;"><span style="font-size: medium;">He says enlightenment is not being attached to anything; she says it is a letting go and experiencing what they have right now. </span></div><div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: 'Century Gothic'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br />
</span></div><div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: 'Century Gothic'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;"><span style="font-size: medium;">He uses it to alienate; she uses it to battle the cynicism of past years. </span></div><div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: 'Century Gothic'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br />
</span></div><div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: 'Century Gothic'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;"><span style="font-size: medium;">He knew she existed and she knows he exists. </span></div><div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: 'Century Gothic'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br />
</span></div><div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: 'Century Gothic'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;"><span style="font-size: medium;">She’ll find him again; but he will be entirely different on the eye. </span></div><div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: 'Century Gothic'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br />
</span></div><div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: 'Century Gothic'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;"><span style="font-size: medium;">She walks away, a piece of her heart wrapped firmly around that misinformed lock, knowing that should he ever choose to find out who she really is – she will be waiting.</span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Century Gothic'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;"><br />

One of those moments that are few and far between but when they arrive it leaves her wondering what she should do with the time. She is leaning against her apartment door, breathing deeply and slowly. All that noise is overwhelming and she doesn't realise just how much until it stops.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Century Gothic'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;"><br />
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Century Gothic'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;"><br />
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Century Gothic'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;">"I'm not well" she thinks. The pounding of her heart and the long moments it takes to steady her breathing bring a fear into her soul. A fear that comes with that point in time when one realises they are not, in fact, invincible. She is sitting inside her own skull, viewing her surroundings and thoughts through her eye sockets. That is what has brought the quiet. The retreat inside herself. A place where the stillness and silence is heavy and loaded with conflict and despair. So much so, it brings stalemate and numbness.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Century Gothic'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;"><br />
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Century Gothic'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;"><br />
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Century Gothic'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;">She can physically out-run the strongest, fastest athlete. She can climb mountains, jump from the highest buildings and destroy anything in her path. But her mind cannot cope with people's conversations... the noise... the effort that goes into listening and wondering and the exhausting process of formulating replies. It is impossible to not become utterly drained listening to others when there is already a constant conversation going on inside her own mind.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Century Gothic'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;"><br />

</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Century Gothic'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;">Life has become a series of rooms with a different song playing in each and she can no longer pick out the familiar melodies.From an outsiders perspective there are no cracks in the woodwork. There is nothing to suggest that the foundations are crumbling. But a battle rages inside... a battle with a history of years that has recently become a silent struggle. Swords are locked in every direction and she can no longer make a move or a decision as she now does not know what she feels or which way to turn.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Century Gothic'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;"><br />
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Century Gothic'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;"><br />
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Century Gothic'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;">There is hate in there somewhere, and love and anguish. Resentment boils the pot steadily underneath. Is it the calm before the maelstrom rages once more? Or is it defeat? She cannot see that there has been a victory at all ... although she always thought that winning would bring a deadening of sound just like this one.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Century Gothic'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;"><br />
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Century Gothic'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;"><br />
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Century Gothic'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;">The moment becomes an hour, she cannot return to normality. Remaining inside her own head is the only option she now has. There are no controls, she can only watch as the details of the corridor in front of her become burned into her memories and she can no longer remember anything else. Layers, that's all she can see... like cardboard cutouts and pop up books... her world becomes a series of 2D images one behind the other. Her mind has taken control and she stands helpless against its will to shut down.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Century Gothic'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;"><br />
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Century Gothic'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;"><br />
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Century Gothic'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;">Counting the flaws in the thick, uneven gloss-paint on the door frame becomes an obsession, until she has enough numbers to start adding, subtracting and dividing. Carrying over hundreds, tens and units in her burnt-out brain becomes a need like no other. She loses her way and has to start over again and again. Retreating further into herself, she becomes a calculator of pointless details as her life slowly disappears from view.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Century Gothic'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;"><br />
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Century Gothic'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;"><br />
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Century Gothic'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;">Life becomes nothingness and arithmetic.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Century Gothic'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;"><br />

Decisions and risks and trying are all that are left to be afraid of. Studying aeroplanes with flip-top heads brings no satisfaction to my need to fly away; I’ll never free-fall the way I used to. If equal forces oppose upon a narrow base, my need for shades in the dark will become green and clear as day (although squinting still). No grey resides here anymore. Monochrome stripes mark the walls in alternate two second flashes of wrong choices and the need to change everything I did today, tomorrow. Crawling through the surface area of such an abstract Hell will never add any weight to the other side. </span></div><div style="font-family: 'Century Gothic'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: 'Century Gothic'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;"><span style="font-size: small;">In a maelstroms eye nothing can change - Trigger - Click - Stasis: It’s the same old story with a different view. </span></div><div style="font-family: 'Century Gothic'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: 'Century Gothic'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;"><span style="font-size: small;">Poaching herbal tinctures and a damaged release enable me to crush pomegranates and fermented oranges for wine’s intent. I sneer as larvae-infested juice spills amidst chanted, half-assed blessings; infused and strengthened by default and surprise. A recipe for disaster is on the menu tonight; new, improved and nasty tasting like medicine taken with extra seasoning under the<a href="http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vd3d3LnlvdXR1YmUuY29tL3dhdGNoP3Y9YVgxUHdrZ3dzRzA=" style="color: #0d1305; font-family: 'Century Gothic'; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank"><span style="color: purple;"><b><span style="font-size: medium;">moon</span></b></span></a>. </span></div><div style="font-family: 'Century Gothic'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: 'Century Gothic'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;"><span style="font-size: small;">Seasons balance don’t they? At this time of year, the scales must stop their incessant tipping to one side or the other and rest upon my aforementioned point in perfect precision. A corrugated file containing life’s inability to be organised and smooth - the self-tensioner is constantly a hopeful problem solver, to pick up the slack. </span></div><div style="font-family: 'Century Gothic'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: 'Century Gothic'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;"><span style="font-size: small;">How am I supposed to know that? I make mistakes because I am not a keeper of all knowledge, right? I know my shit and they know theirs (apparently) - picking the seeds out to start a new grow is fucking tedious - I’ve done it constantly for 39 years and I’m always in trouble. I waste the time marvelling at people wasting time mostly - say your two penneth and then go back to the TV screen. Paying for hypnotism? We do it everyday unwillingly - making children walk through dark buildings after office hours fucks up their routine and makes them un-talkative. Try again next week doesn’t cut it I’m afraid - they’re not cash bundles to be locked up overnight are they?</span></div><div style="font-family: 'Century Gothic'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: 'Century Gothic'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;"><span style="font-size: small;">Cash bundles = patients in neat beds along the wall. The chalk mark boundaries surrounding their disease-ridden predicaments are deepened unhealthily by the hour. Giving prescriptions in anxiously precise quantities does not lessen nor darken the lethal, penultimate dose. Death is part of the stock take, the relieved sigh of one less to pay for resounds through budget-frantic restaurants and the freshly cut flowers on waiting room tables. </span></div><div style="font-family: 'Century Gothic'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: 'Century Gothic'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;"><span style="font-size: small;">So, we are back to aeroplanes; the in-flight drink being pomegranate wine. The departure lounge is filled with silent crowds on a one way ticket to the ultimate freedom. The witching hour approaches as the gate numbers are invoked from blown speakers a hundred years old. And nothing brings on apprehension like an intravenous infusion of anti-anxiety medication.</span></div><div style="font-family: 'Century Gothic'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
